Today, I asked a traffic cop if it was okay to park my car briefly in a 'Monday to Friday only' parking spot, since it's Saturday. She politely replied I could. I came back less than ten minutes later, only to find a parking ticket stuck to my windshield. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He told me one of my lights was busted, and I couldn't help but point out that one of his was out too. He said, "Thanks, I'll get that fixed right away." then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding and was shocked that the cop asked me out. Before I could respond, he noticed my wedding ring, said "Nevermind" and then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Today, I received the $30 parking pass that I ordered over 4 weeks ago. My class is only 4 weeks long, and next week is the last week. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She said you could park there not that she wouldn't give you a ticket.

Just call the police station and they'll revoke your ticket

Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, good luck with that.

Wow! Somebody clearly has never gotten a ticket for anything before. Go ahead and call the station, I'm sure the officers on duty need a good laugh.

You should've at least gotten the cops name, car number, badge number or something if you were going to trust them to park there. At least then you could've had some sort of evidence to fight the ticket.
sugarshane007 20
Um.... usually their name and some sort of identifying number are on the ticket. I believe that is the evidence you are looking for Sherlock. The only problem is, you'll still need Johnnie Cochran to have any chance in winning the fight, and unfortunately for OP, Cochran is long gone.

I understand that, but I'm assuming a different cop wrote the ticket. I was saying OP should've gotten that info from the cop who OK'd OP to park in the first place.

Usually, most cities will spread their traffic cops out, so that the most ground can be covered over the period of the shift. It's not common for more than one to be in a set area, that way they can patrol as much as possible and find people breaking basic traffic laws as quickly as possible, before they can right their wrongs. All OP did was play right into their hands. Never trust traffic cops, they are given one goal, and that is to get as many tickets as possible.

Very true, I agree with you, but even though it may not be common it does and has happened (my friend experienced something similar calling a parked car in). So in this case we are kind of left to guess if it was the same cop or not. The way I understood the FML it seemed it would be a different cop to me.
sugarshane007 20
The FML does need more explanation, that is for sure. This is one of those times I hope the OP shows up with the info.
sugarshane007 20
There have been a lot of cops trolling and causing FML's over the past month it seems. I say bravo to these men and women of law enforcement. They have kept me entertained, so at least my tax dollars are doing something beneficial.

You probably asked her, "CAN I park here?" She said, "Yes, you CAN park there," but the ticket said you MAY NOT park there. Expensive grammar lesson, indeed.
sugarshane007 20
Perdix, those cops really love those grammar loopholes. That's how they got permission to search your car, I'm sure.
